Now that Slink has been frozen, here is the basic guideline for uploading
to "frozen"...
NO NEW CODE
This is a difficult thing to quantify, so let's look at it this way:
- critical, grave, and important bug fixes are always allowed for
those packages that must exist in the final release.
- critical, grave, and important bug fixes are only allowed for
non-necessary packages if they don't add any new features.
- normal bug fixes are allowed (though discouraged) on all packages
iff there are no new features.
- wishlist fixes are not allowed (they are, after all, not really bugs)
Remember, there is statistically a 15% chance that every bug fix will
introduce a new bug. There is often little correlation between the
severity of the original bug and the severity of the introduced bug.
